Which quiet but lightweight exhaust?

[(RIP) willstatt]

I replaced my standard can with a Remus Titanium 'Road legal' exhaust when I got my GS 4 years ago. I've decided I would actually like to have something quieter..... (like the OE) Trouble is I don't want to put the original back on 'cos it's so bloody heavy! ( and it also melts my indicators whereas the Remus doesn't)

Can I modify the Remus any way to make it quiet, or is there another alternative?

Have still got the Cat within the system?

Cat off

No.... took that off to save weight too, so I realise that doesn't help noise, but don't want to put that on again for the same weight reasoning.

I know what you mean, I was down the same road, albeit a non-street legal Carbon end can and no Cat...NOISEY!

I then fitted a decibel killer from the Carbon Can Company to my Blue Flame can, that calmed things down substantially. It was still Loud and to be honest, became a wee bit tiring after a lengthy run...

So now I have actually put the Cat back on, and that is the Only silencing I have and it's very civilised...

No Silencer at all ...works fine and allows me to use a full sized pannier on both sides too...

Yes, if I can sort out this 'problem'

I have it on very good authority the best idea is to put the standard can back on ... which sounds great with the Remus front pipes .... and go on a diet to compensate for the extra weight in the silencer

Best sell the Remus to me ASAP and give yourself a blank canvas to work with

Too heavy man!

There's no way I'm putting that great heavy thing back on again! I'll try an find time to try a Cat only setup, and see if that improves things. If I sort it, I'll give you first shout on the Remus.......
